Nypro Puerto Rico, the first offshore facility for the eighth largest injection molder, needed an infusion of new technology in the mold building capacity at its Nypro Technology Center (NTC). NYPRO - OVERHAULING THE SHOP FLOOR Nypro Puerto Rico, the first...
A 1.0mmØ x 50mm electrode featuring a 0.014mmØ pure tungsten rod tip was mounted to the spindle collet holder of a Makino EDFH1 sinker EDM. A precision ground copper tungsten dressing block was mounted to the machine's table. The EDFH1's Auto Precision Dressing macro was used to dress electrode...
A Makino V22 vertical machining center was used to manufacture a micro medical staple mold out of hardened 420 stainless steel. Previous processing of the mold was performed using electrical discharge machining (EDM), and required 67 hours of machine time to achieve 0.20mm corner radii._x000D_ _x000D_...
This micro component was machined by using a combination of micro hole machining technologies of the EDFH1, fine hole sinker, and ultra fine wire technologies of the UPJ-2 horizontal wire EDM. The first operation of the EDFH1 machine, required the use of a 60 micron tungsten electrode, to produce (4)...
